1976 Château Rayas Châteauneuf-du-Pape Blanc Réserve 97 Points
France, Rhône, Southern Rhône, Châteauneuf-du-Pape
Awesome complexity. Smokey notes. This has some of the same tell-tale animalistic notes as the Rayas reds. Really stunning.

Flight 3 (5 Notes)
1814 Mandive Vigo Porto Vintage 98 Points
Portugal, Douro, Porto
Awesome nose. Incredible complexity of madeirized flavors and licorice. Unctuous texture. This goes on and on. Impossible to put down.

1896 Bouchard Père et Fils Corton-Le Corton 90 Points
France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Corton Grand Cru
Smokey tangy barbecue flavors. Fully evolved. No body left but still some nice acidity.

1893 Château Calon-Ségur 86 Points
France, Bordeaux, Médoc, St. Estèphe
Acidity front and center. Still some dry tannins left. Color still remarkably dark and saturated. Stripped of most of its fruit. Interesting but not much more.

1880 Château Lafite Rothschild 96 Points
France, Bordeaux, Médoc, Pauillac
Probably the most controversial wine of the evening. This initially had a very medicinal nose which then turned into an overwhelming floral bouquet of violets (we dubbed the wine "ultra violet"). Some found it too much and off-putting but it was truly unique and fascinating

1900 Château Cos d'Estournel 99 Points
France, Bordeaux, Médoc, St. Estèphe
The most classical of this flight of 19th century classics. Fantastic textbook tertiary Bordeaux flavors. Medium finish. Smoke and dark fruit. Elegance married with latent power. Gorgeous!

1947 Domaine de la Romanée-Conti La Tâche 100 Points
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, La Tâche Grand Cru
WOTN for me (among a stunning once-in-a-lifetime line-up). I could not get enough of the aromas and could have sniffed this all night long. Unbelievably bright. Orange peel mixed with smoke. So complex, so beautiful. It doesn't get any better than this

1948 Joseph Drouhin Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Amoureuses 95 Points
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru
Somewhat evolved on the nose. Very strong black tea aromas. Very smokey and velvety.

1961 Domaine de la Romanée-Conti Romanée-Conti 98 Points
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Romanée-Conti Grand Cru
Stunning nose. The flavor complexity is awe-inspiring. Lots of brooding earthy and mushroom notes. Goes on and on open the finish. Pure royalty

1964 Domaine Marquis d'Angerville Volnay 1er Cru Champans 93 Points
France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Volnay 1er Cru
Others liked this much better than I did. The wine had noticeably less body compared to the others in the red Burg flight. Flavors were very subtle.

1971 Domaine de la Romanée-Conti La Tâche 94 Points
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, La Tâche Grand Cru

Flight 5 (7 Notes)
1955 Château Ausone 86 Points
France, Bordeaux, Libournais, St. Émilion Grand Cru

1955 Château La Mission Haut-Brion 97 Points
France, Bordeaux, Graves, Pessac-Léognan
LMHB is always one of my perennial favorites and it again shone brightly tonight. Textbook LMHB smokiness, beautiful acidity and freshness. Impossible to put down.
